For an Android phone, you have essentially five choices. They are laid out
in this article.

I own Audubon, Sibley and iBird Pro for my Android phone and I also use
National Geographic on my iPad, along with the Warbler Guide - which is the
slickest of any of the apps, but only deals with Warblers.

I personally use iBird Pro most when out in the field. I find it organized
the best. I also like the similar species feature, which is very helpful
when trying to ID terns and flycatchers, etc. It seems to have the best or
among the best of each features.

The Peterson, despite having the name of the great guides, is pretty basic.
Sibley is the most expensive. It has no photos, just illustrations. Sibley
has the most songs and they are identified by where they were recorded
because regional differences do exist in bird songs.

Subject: [mou-net] Birding apps for android phones

I was just wondering if anyone knew a good app to my phone to use when I'm
in the field. I'm looking for something that has pictures and sounds please.
